By God, Shido Michiya is reincarnated into the world of a certain war chronicle-style otome game.

In that world, he becomes the capture target, Seventh Prince Xeno, who, because he's too easily swayed, interferes with other heroes' routes and usually dies if not on his own route, leading him to be treated as a "villainess"—a net meme—despite being a man. Utilizing his knowledge of game systems and super-specialized cheat abilities (though he's somewhat unfamiliar with the story aspects), he attempts to aim for a route where he can survive, but due to the influence of other reincarnated individuals, the story gradually deviates from the original plot...?

This is the story of a "villainess"-type capture target who, despite merely trying to survive legitimately (from the protagonist's perspective) in an otome game world, is somehow doted upon by beautiful girls like the original protagonist and the final boss's sister (+ some other capture targets), and aims for the original happy ending while being adored by them.

Disclaimer:

Although it uses an otome game as a motif, naturally, there is no villainess. The otome game heroine will not be scorned.

The protagonist is in a "villainess" position, which is unusual for a typical otome game but common in Narou (web novel) works (a pattern where they target the heroine so as not to die).

"This is a story of otome game heroines struggling for a capture target who is more scarred than in the original, depicted from the perspective of the reincarnated capture target in the 'villainess' position."

As such, the protagonist is a "cold blight" type of hero, constantly tormented by survivor's guilt and twisted by a Messiah complex. His attitude towards the heroines is often aloof and stubborn. He doesn't listen to others, nor does he understand their feelings. He's the type whose likes and dislikes are very clear, and his personality improvement will be quite slow, so please understand.

This work is a follow-up publication on Narou of a work originally posted on Hameln. While it will be revised slightly for readability... I have also started posting on NovelUp+.
